YES Bank auditor red-flags multiple breaches of RBI's norms in FY20

Bank sets aside Rs 334 cr for expected penalty for SLR breach

The auditor of YES Bank has pointed out multiple breaches of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) norms and loan covenants by the private bank in the financial year ended March 2020, warning that these may impact the bank’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 

The auditor, BSR & Co, also said that as the fate of the bank’s additional tier-1 (AT-1) bonds remained uncertain — as the matter is pending in court — any adverse judgment would affect it adversely.
 

The bank has breached the regulatory requirements of the RBI regarding maintaining the minimum common equity tier-1 (CET-1)
